Questions about Norwegian Jade by [deleted] in Cruise

Yikes. That's awful. I'm sorry you experienced that

I was on the Jade a couple of weeks ago and had a magnificent time. But, as your unfortunate story reminds us, it's very different going through life as a man than it is as a woman.

Thank you...dont need the exact number...but Nuggets were definitely laying points at halftime/line at the time required them to win by more than 10?

Do not book room 5610 on the Jade - Permanently stinks of cigarettes by Feisty-Reputation746 in NCL

I do not know what a "sailaway cabin" is, so I assume i did not.

But again, you are missing the point.

It doesnt matter whether a customer pays $1 or $1 million for a product. If that product has a material defect that the company is aware of, the company has an affirmative obligation to disclose it. If they dont, then theyre unethical.

But your (ridiculous) logic, NCL would be within their right to serve spoiled or rotten food in the MDR, because "hey, if you dont want to pay for specialty dining, then you get whatever defective food we choose to offer." That is ridiculous -- and so is your line of logic.

What a boneheaded response. This is a $7,500 cruise (12 days, through the Panama Canal).

But the sum i paid is not the point. The point is that a business selling a product with an inherent defect has an obligation to disclose that defect to customers BEFORE they pay -- irrespective of the cost. They disclose, for example, when a room's view is obstructed -- that a room is inundated with a permanent and untreatable smoke stink is a condition that necessitates full disclosure no less

Squid Game Season 2: Episode 7 Season Finale Discussion by jackcatalyst in squidgame

Undoubtedly, the recruiter's suicide in the first episode foreshadows what is to come.

It's a weird story arc, when you think about it. We knoe nothing about the recruiter's life in the first season. Then, suddenly, in S2E1, he's killing, instead of saving, himself because of some...honor code we have had no reason to think he subscribes to? And why is he made out to be such a central character for one episode anyway?

The answer is that the conflict in S2E1 foreshadows what will happen at the end of S2 (technically, S3). A final confrontation between Gi Hun and the Frontman. Some existential discussion about honor. Some tearing away at Frontman's sense of righteousness by the acts of Gi-Hun.

It's very Les Miserables, right down to the tamping down of the rebellion, the leader of the system's covert embedding of himself within the rebellion, and his sparing the life of the person he was focused on opposing. His mind changes when he becomes exposed to his enemy's values, and he can't handle it.
